invoices

Download an invoice PDF

Changed on Nov 10, 2026

This endpoint is used for downloading a specific invoice PDF document. Only finalized invoices can be downloaded; any other invoice returns a 404 error. When the PDF has already been generated, the invoice object is returned and its file_url points to the document. When it has not been generated yet, the response is a 200 with an empty body and the generation starts in the background. Call the endpoint again to get the invoice object with its file_url.
